| We love the Holidays and themed workouts! This week we have a few to help celebrate Thanksgiving. This year we are thankful for our members for showing up each day and putting in the hard work. Ardmore and Wayne members may notice some new wording in the workouts these next two weeks. Workouts may be separated into these categories: Function / Performance / Open. Function: My reason for being here is to have FUN, stay healthy, and live well into my 90s without any serious health concerns. Performance: I want those things as well, but I want to learn more of the RX movements, possibly participate in the Open, and maybe try a weekend local competition. Open: I am here to test myself and compete in the sport of CrossFit. These terms are here to help you identify your “why” in the gym and improve your experience here. We truly want this to be the best hour of your day! Want to workout on Thanksgiving? Join Coach Chelsey at the Wayne location at 9am for Open Gym!

#FEARLESSFRIDAY; CFML’S CALORIE TORCHING, MUSCLE BUILDING WORKOUT OF THE WEEK:
“CLEARANCE SALE”
3 SETS: AMRAP x 4 MINUTES
6 Front Squats (115/75)|(75/55)
8 Pull-Ups
10 Box Jump Overs (24/20)
*Pick up where you left off.
-Rest 1:00 b/t Sets-
Advice from our coaches:
1. Choose a weight that you can complete the 6 front squats unbroken. This is a fast paced workout, so make sure you can move that bar!
2. Typically, we may have one of the three movements that are not in our wheelhouse. Have a plan going in to break up and pace that movement (and.. Get ready to make up ground on the other 2).
#SHOUTOUTSATURDAY;
Who doesn’t love a challenge and even better, who doesn’t like black out bingo!!!
Pick-up your bingo card at your gym and get to work. The goal is to “black out” your bingo card by completing the Row-vember challenges over the month of November.
Each bingo card will be displayed at the gym so we can all see each other’s progress throughout the month as well as promote some healthy trash talking, lol. At the end of the month, those who blacked out their card will be entered into a drawing to win the coveted “Name Your Rower” Prize.
Individual “Name Your Rower” Prizes will also be given out for the top scores in some of the bingo card workouts.
Have Questions? Reach out to any of your coaches.
Good Luck and Enjoy your Row-vember Challenge….. Get ta’ Rowin’
